Vidor football will have new defensive coordinators, defense

Vidor football coach Jeff Mathews said Travis Maines and Dickie Robinson will be co-defensive coordinators next season, replacing George Eskue, who asked to move to the freshman team so he can spend more time with his family.
Maines previously coached the secondary and Robinson served as linebackers coach.
“(Maines) was my first quarterback, he’s been with me ever since, so I’m real excited about what he can come in and do,” Mathews said.
Vidor will also be moving from the 3-4 defense to a 3-3-5 defensive alignment.
“We did it (the 3-3-5) a few times last year when we face spread offenses and we’re going to try and base out of it this year,” Mathews said. “The kids like it. In the past, we’ve been asking a 160-pound kid to come up and play on the tight end. Now they’ll be more comfortable and that will work in our favor.”
